Your Brazilian Rain Tree (on a rainy day) was a treat: its pruned, slender, branches of alternating, fresh green, clusters of lacey leaves and thin, long, delicate thorns, is so beautiful!!! 🌿🌿🌿 Thank you so much.
Inspired by Nigel Sir, I m growing 3 Rain tree seedlings from last 2-3 years here in India. They dont have any thorns, but after sunset they too fold all the leaves . I guess our local rain trees are called as monkeypod aka "Samanea saman"
Nigel, your brazilian rain tree looks relly good, it got this smooth grey bark, and a a vertical dent i the middle of the trunk, love it! 💚💚 This tree would work great as 360° tree, light could really play on all of it’s features. Now, some time ago i noticed that on few of your trees there is a long branch with little taper on the left side of the design. In this video it’s Serrissa, Frankenficus, and Ficus Fancy. Yeah, it’s this time of the year, here in Poland will start to get quite cold in few days, so I’m in the middle of taking my tropicals inside. I spray all with soap and water to reduce chances of insect problems during winter. Good news is, it looks like my Kalanchoe Copper Spoons and ficuses are finally free scale insects 💚💚💚
There’s just something about pruning in the rain that is so very satisfying, especially when you have a green house. I’m diggin it, good sir. The BRT is looking amazing
Another great video Nigel. Thanks for coming out and talking to the wife and I before we left the Kitchener show. Hopefully everyone finds your videos is instructive and helpful as I do. And then there’s Chris the bonsai guy he’s inspired me to try to get my own poting 😢medium mix with a little help with his products.. I picked up a nice pair of Nobbing pliers on this visit and looking forward to medium again so I can pick up a nice pair of pruning shears like you have. 👍
That Brazilian rain tree is looking so miniature!! The taper is beautiful, and it’s producing a nice branching canopy. It is starting to remind me of your serissa (my favorite of your trees).
Beautiful tree! Enjoyed watching you work on it. I do have a problem with that one branch that crosses over the sightline from the front. But, it's your tree and your design. LOL,,
Excellent video as always Nigel! Wish I could keep my rain tree as nice and healthy as yours...just haven't quite figured out the knack for them here. Oh thank god I finally realized it was a water drop on the lens. For a second I thought I was finally showing signs of macular degeneration!
Brazilian rain trees are heavy feeders. Maybe you could try a little more fertilizer. I use a slow release pellet type. I just put out a video on pruning my rain tree on my channel called Woodcrest Bonsai. Please come check it out!
Well, I liked the "old" front better but I guess I'll have to live with that! Sending good luck for the perfect amount of growth on the Taprome (?) temple for the Toronto show!
Looks alot like our Acacias, basically a tropical acacia if you have to compare them. I have a very young sapling, almost a year old. Want sow more seeds this year.
Are you getting fall colors later than usual? *I PROMISE IM NOT ADVERTISING LOL* but there is a free weather app with maps called Ventusky. I keep the webcams turned on all the time so I can check on how the seasons progress in different latitudes. But there is a phenology camera in Wisconsin that showed bright red orange maples exactly a year ago and now it looks more like last year in late August. I am not going to turn to my assumptions because I don't live in the Great Lakes region, but I'm curious how autumn is playing out this year compared to other years on your end.
Hi Mr Hope your doing well If we have any question about a tree or about if i want your opinion about a tree befor buying it or after, where we can chat, talk or just send you a picture? Do you have an email or a site ? If not , np I understand that you are always busy and you have a lot of followers I really like your advise and your videos I’m from Montreal Sorry my English not so good I speak more French Thanks
Bonjour, here is my email, I hope I can get back to you! I do get a lot of emails and at times, I get way behind!!! thekwbonsaisociety@gmail.com It's best to join the Montreal bonsai club, they have so many good people there!!!!
A huge number of tropical trees evolved to develop thorns to ward off animals. I live in zone 10 in the US and I have at least six different tropical bonsai that have thorns. I also just made a video of me trimming a rain tree on my channel called Woodcrest Bonsai. Please come check it out!
I am from Brazil and this tree looks like in the Nature!
Congrats

Great prunes on the Brazilian Rain Tree. Lots of trees feeling autumn coming in your updates!
Fantasmo, that's shaping up so nicely.
Love that tree. Not sure if I can get one over here but will keep my eyes open for one.

The BRT is looking better everyday..❤❤😊😊
I love the fall colors so much. They are like a late bloom. I don't feel sad about the fall.

Great music for the flyover of your Brazilian Rain Tree.

Nice to see the tree getting flatter and wider, I love the glowing branches👍🏻 My favorite tree of yours! Alongside the Serissa and Nightshade👌🏻

This BRT has a nice relaxing trunk to it. Easy to view with a natural style to it.
This BRT will have a nice canopy after this meticulous pruning. Really cool. Nice tour of your trees.
I really like your Brazilian rain tree nice shape.👍
One of my favorites 😍
Probably my favorite of your trees. Amazing
Awesomeness
Great pruning, nice updates 🎉🎉🎉
MMmmm, what a super little tree !🌴
Well, I liked the "old" front better but I guess I'll have to live with that!

That is coming along very nicely. Id love to see it become very wide!

Beautiful.❤
I've had my Raintree for a while and I clip the very tip of the needle first and then the rest of it. They tend to fly when clipped
Great tip, no pun intended, thanks!!!!
Hi 👋
i hope you make a update on your 60th pine😇🤩
hey Nigel… wish i could get your input on my Raintree! have used your work to guide me.
those thorns! wow. I may stick to a lookalike, in my opinion anyway, my Texas Ebony, at least the thorns are smaller. Cheers friend.

Love this tree! Nicely done do you normally prune your tropical trees every 3 months? Or twice a year? Or just go by feel? Thx for the video
Great video! How do you fertiliser this tropical tree Nigel? TIA
If i remember correctly it’s tiny pinch of 3/3/3 fertilizer (equal amount of phosphorus, nitrogen and potasium basicly) with every watering.
👍👌👌
Oh no you missed the zombie apocalypse!😂😂😂

I tried to wipe the water blob off my screen 😂
The blurry spot in the middle of the video made me think, “ The names and faces of the victims have been changed to protect their identity”
Water💧 on camera, while pruning rain trees 😂😂😂
It looks like you censored the first cuts.... LoL😂😂
(Water drops on the phone)

Do you see those long thorns ?? no wonder why animals stay away from this plant\tree 😅
